Hi all, long time lurker here.  I've used this site many times over the years for information and research, but finally had the need to post.  

I have been talking with one of the co-owners of Battlecomp about making their BABC for the FAL.  If you are not familiar with the Battlecomp line of compensators, they offer a combination of flash suppression and muzzle control, with only a slight increase in noise.  I was skeptical until I tried one on my AR and now I swear by them.  They already make a .308 version for AR's and M1A's (pictured below). Their site is here if you want to look:  http://battlecomp.com/

The co-owner said he had contacted DSA about an FAL specific (due to the LH thread) in the past, but they had not committed to purchasing a sufficient quantity to justify a run.  I have a tactical FAL that is begging for one, and I am willing to bet I am not the only person out there.  I put together a short 2 question survey to judge demand for such an item.  I would really appreciate it if you could take a few seconds and complete the survey.  I will let it run for a few weeks and then give the results the Battlecomp.

Survey can be found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RV75CSG

Thanks for your time,
Matt

My problem is that I would have to have the barrel cut and threaded as I have the DSA integral compensator...

I would love one if it threaded right on...

I thought the DSA tactical 16.25" fluted bbl had a right hand twist? Comes with an AR flash hider?

Had one on my tanker garand. Adco made me a thread adaptor. Pretty sure they could do the same thing for a FN FAL. Planning on doing this with my Argy build, just with a Vortex, for now. The 308 Battlecomps are expensive.

I saw a video where PWS beat out Battlecomp on an short barrel AR.  Its cheaper too by about $50.  They make a comp for the FAL and AK also, but haven't found any tests on it.

I absolutely LOVE PWS brakes, I have them on two AR15's, a 18 inch FAL, and a Keltec RFB. Work great, lightens recoil, blasts the neighbors ears.

Beat in what way? Recoil reduction is basically a given, as the BC, IIRC, isn't intended to be a pure brake, but a device that brakes some without overly increasing flash or concussion.
